Learning Assessment
Tomorrow’s Workforce offered free assessments of newsroom learning needs. We helped news
organizations develop training plans that tie directly to goals for improving the value and appeal of
content. In return, we asked that news organizations be willing to report their challenges and
successes in order to help the industry learn more about effective training and staff development.
Tomorrow's Workforce wrapped up its four-year Knight Foundation project in June 2007 with
publication of a book, "News, Improved: How America's Newsrooms Are Learning to Change."
The book, by Michele McLellan and Tim Porter, explores how dozens of newsrooms have used
strategic training to drive print and on-line quality and innovation.
